The Drive to Thrive initiative is a corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity dedicated to combating food insecurity and strengthening local communities in Toronto, our host city. GBTA partnered up with The Daily Bread Food Bank and Enterprise Mobility, bringing together employees, partners, and stakeholders to collect and donate non-perishable food items, helping to support individuals and families in need.
- Support Daily Bread Food Bank: Provide essential food supplies to one of the largest food relief organizations, helping reduce hunger in the local community.
- Promote Sustainable Giving: Inspire ongoing support for food security through education, awareness, and action.
The Drive to Thrive campaign will run from April 28 – 30, throughout the 2025 GBTA Canada Conference. Attendees are encouraged to donate canned goods, dry foods, other non-perishable items or can also donate a monetary donation by utilizing the QR code provided.
